Debra Bennett

Debra Bennett

Therapist

Virtual • Pennsylvania


After decades in healthcare, including years in hospice and palliative care, I learned something that shapes everything about how I work: the most powerful thing I can offer is simply to be present. Not to fix, not to explain away, and not to pretend I fully understand what you are going through. But to stay with you in whatever you are carrying, without rushing, without judgment, for as long as it takes.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Pennsylvania. My years in hospice prepared me to hold space for people in the most difficult moments of their lives, and that experience is what I bring to therapy now. Whether you are managing a chronic illness, living with chronic pain, carrying trauma, grieving a loss, or burning out from caregiving, you do not have to make it more manageable for the people around you. You just have to show up.

One small note: I have a chronic pain condition myself, so you may see me reposition during our sessions. I mention it upfront so you can focus on yourself rather than wondering.

Therapist

On the outside, you may be holding it all together. Inside, it may feel like a lot. You may be dealing with intense thoughts, emotions, or experiences from the past that still show up in the present. Sometimes you already know the skills or what you "should be doing," and the harder question is why your mind or body keeps reacting as though something from the past is still happening now. I am a licensed clinical social worker with a background in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress. I also support LGBTQ+ individuals. I believe therapy is a collaborative journey that we take together.

Dr. Alison DuBois

Therapist

Virtual • Pennsylvania


I have spent most of my professional life helping people manage stress, burnout, trauma, change, and the general emotional chaos that comes with being human. With a background spanning clinical counseling, higher education, leadership development, special education, and mental health advocacy, I bring both deep expertise and genuine relatability to the therapy process. I have presented nationally on topics like compassion fatigue, resilience, and trauma, but believe some of the best therapeutic work still happens in simple, honest conversations where people finally feel heard.
